Andrew Jarecki is an American filmmaker best known for Capturing the Friedmans, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Co-founder/CEO of Moviefone, which provides film schedules over the telephone and was sold to AOL in 1999, Jarecki was encouraged to shoot Capturing the Friedmans by Albert Maysles.
He is the brother of filmmaker Eugene Jarecki and half-brother of Nicholas Jarecki. He graduated from Princeton University with a BA in English Literature. He displays his relatively unknown musical ability in the theme song of Felicity, "New Version of You," which he co-wrote with producer J. J. Abrams.
His first narrative feature, All Good Things, starring Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, and Frank Langella, will be released in 2010.
